"Какой палец болит?"

Translation: Which finger hurts?

[patfinegan]

"What finger hurts?" was marked incorrect. How does the meaning differ from "Which finger hurts?"

[rickyfox]

Actually, I believe "what" is more correct than "which". Because "какой" means "what", "который" would mean "which". So your answer is better than the suggested one.

Какой means both what and which (one)

[patfinegan]

Thank you.

Wouldn't который be better here anyway? I thought который was better when you want to say "which," when you are asking about one of a definite or concrete set of things (ie. You aren't asking about which finger hurts for everyone, but which finger hurts out of the definite set of fingers the person has).

I was told that "палец" could mean "finger" or "toe." Is that incorrect?

[RomanRussian]

"Палец" means both "finger" and "toe"

[TrentTagestad]

"What finger hurts" is a correct English sentence

[Ger205813]

"what finger hurts" is perfectly understandable English but "which" is more correct

[ginorodrigues]

"Which finger aches?” is wrong, can anybody help me understand? Thanks!

[JayColly]

Can который be used here?

[RomanRussian]

Barely. 99% it will be "какой". "Который" needs some special context, in my opinion.

"...is hurt" doesn't apply? Meaning-wise is not much different is it?

[Mick4150]

I thought the same

[langleycollyer]

'Which finger is sore'? I use these interchangeably in English but perhaps it's different in Russian?

[Superuncia]

Болить is a verb, therefore you had to translate it accordingly.

[AndrewMat85]

There is no verb болить

[RWang2017]

I think the verb should be болеть. There is no Болить.

Мизинец , безымянный палец , средний палец , указательный палец , большой палец - these are names of fingers in Russian if someone wanted to know :D

Which finger is sore?

[Alejandra529660]

Which finger is hurting you? Is it Wrong?

[KalenGi]

Is this correct: Which finger is paining?

[BenCostell3]

No. You could say "which finger is in pain."

Why what fi ger bursts is still wrong ? It is properly used in English, at least in American
